The Family Petition Process

1

File Form I-130

The Petition for Alien Relative establishes your qualifying relationship. Our AI guides you through every question and required evidence.

2

Wait for Priority Date

Immediate relatives have no wait. Family preference categories must wait for a visa number to become available based on the monthly Visa Bulletin.

3

Consular Processing or Adjustment

If your family member is abroad, they attend a consular interview. If they are in the US, they may adjust status without leaving.

4

Welcome to the US

After approval, your family member receives their immigrant visa or green card. Our AI helps with the final steps and arrival documentation.
